Nigeria’s NLNG export plant sold a Nov. 5-7 loading cargo to U.S. producer Cheniere Energy, one trader said, without giving a price.

Gail India filled most of its tender seeking supplies between October and January, paying in the high $8 per mmBtu range for a December delivery and in the low $9 per mmBtu range for a January cargo, one trader said.

It was unclear if Bharat Petroleum awarded its tender for a December cargo.

Low coal inventories at Indian power stations have helped extend demand for spot LNG purchases despite relatively high spot prices which Indian buyers typically avoid paying.

EGAS also lifted the upper price limit of what it could pay to the equivalent of $65 a barrel of Brent crude oil from $60 a barrel previously, traders said.

Egypt’s surging domestic gas output is rapidly eroding LNG demand and with the country’s giant Zohr gas field set to start pumping in December it may curb appetite further.

Traders said there was ongoing demand from South Korea and Turkey, although Korea Gas Corp was likely pulling in greater volumes via long-term suppliers such as Qatar to plug shortfalls, and not via spot markets for now.
